In Jesus’ interactions with people on earth, who did he move toward? The ones hurting the most! The parts of us hurting the most are where God wants to go in at the deepest of levels to bring healing. Which takes tinkering with the whole system.
— Alison Cook, Ph.D

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Puddcast! As I looked back over the first 3 years I realized that the intersection of Jesus & trauma formed a throughline across many conversations. I wanted to do something special and so I assembled a panel to discuss this subject. My guests are Wm. Paul Young, Alison Cook, Ph.D, Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe and Ahmeda Mansaray-Richardson. Using the lenses of psychology, neurology, theology, cultural studies, and more we look at identity, brokenness, colonialism, institutional religious structures, diversity and more. If you’ve ever wished to know precisely why it’s so hard to believe that God loves you, if you’ve wanted to understand yourself better, to know why our societies are so busted right now, why we struggle to put ourselves in other’s shoes, and more… then this is the discussion for you. We went so deep and long that I’ve split the discussion into 2 parts, with the 2nd part coming next week.
